ISLAMABAD, Oct 10 (NNI): Former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry said on Thursday that it was very difficult for the government to bring constitutional amendment without Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s support.
Speaking to media, Chaudhry said that if Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari were actual democrats, then things would have been different. He lashed out at the PPP’s 17-year stint in power in Sindh, adding that Bilawal would have brought the constitutional amendment if the he had the required numbers.
Speaking about current number game, he pointed out at the lack of numbers of government’s coalition by saying that the government lacked five senators and seven MNAs.
